Hi,

I have a preloader which has this code (simplified):

```auto
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("x.swf"))

function loaded(e:Event):void
{}

```

And x.swf has this code (very simplified):

```auto
trace(stage.stageWidth);

```

When I run preloader, I get this error:  
[FONT=Courier New]TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.  
at x\_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
